| Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (2nd nomination) |
|---|
The result was delete. SilkTork *YES! 17:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] Baader-Meinhof phenomenonAfDs for this article:
This page is composed almost entirely of OR backed up with pseudoscientific psych-speak. If it has been documented in any notable source (which excludes damninteresting.com, thank you), I have been unable to find it. An earlier AfD seemed to fail mostly on the basis that the original nominator was unregistered and initially bungled the application. At the very least, complete the merge into synchronicity, which seems to be synonymous but actually has legitimate documentation. Angio (talk) 19:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

| Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Crawford (colonel) |
|---|
The result was keep. JForget 23:23, 15 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] David Crawford (colonel)Nominating as I feel doesn't pass WP:POLITICIAN. The House of Burgesses did qualify at times as a first-level sub-national political office, but at the time of Crawford's election to it (1692), it's influence was severely limited (quoted below) (according it's own article) "In 1624, the Virginia Company lost its charter, and Virginia became a royal colony. As a Royal Colony, the House of Burgesses consisted of two members from every county in Virginia and one member from each of the following: the City of Williamsburg, the City of Jamestown, the City of Norfolk, and the College of William and Mary. The House of Burgesses continued to meet, but its influence was severely restricted. Despite limitations on its actions..." This situation appears to continue until it's dissolution in 1769. I would argue that this means that Crawford was not elected to a first-level sub-national political office. Fol de rol troll (talk) 17:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

There was a prod nomination, but it had been previously deprodded in June: "No relevant google hits I can find, which suggest this was not an achievement of lasting fame. Many people have sailed alone around the world before this, so it's no record. With only a small-town newpaper as a reference, so lacks verifiability." I can verify that he made the trip with this snippet:[7], but this man and his journey aren't notable. Fences&Windows 23:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The result was keep as new evidence shows he passes WP:ATHLETE Black Kite 11:30, 16 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] Panushanth KulenthiranThis player fails both WP:ATHLETE (as he hasn't "competed at the fully professional level of a sport" - no evidence to show he has played for either Palermo or the Sri Lankan national team) and WP:GNG (as he hasn't "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"). Recreate if & when he meets either of these guidelines in the future. This article is a contested PROD; no rationale was given for the removal of the PROD. GiantSnowman 13:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

An article about an "independent television series" with next to no reliable sources, pretty much entirely written by one user.

The result was delete. Jclemens (talk) 03:35, 10 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] Liliana Gil
Non-notable. There are some Google News results but they appear to be promotional press release or mentions of Gil which do not demonstrate sufficiently against Wikipedia:Notability (people). In particular the awards mentioned are corporate promotional and not recognized by the general public apart from a National Latino Award 2008 (on my count there were 18 recipients of these awards) but I do not believe that that award alone can demonstrate notability here. The article itself is a CV and requires major rewrite but as there is no reason to think independent sources (i.e. not based on J&J press releases) will demonstrate notability, deletion is the better action. The article has been marked for notability and clean-up for over 18 months with no sign of improvement. Ash (talk) 22:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The result was delete. Spartaz Humbug! 20:06, 16 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] Bratunac massacre
WP is not a soapbox. There are no sources available on google.books, the few websites I could google were either Serb nationalist sites or just referred to the article at B92, a Serb web page. The article (only reference provided) just repeats a Serb politician's statement. In sum: totally falls short of WP:V and there's no likelihood that verifiability will be achieved. Miacek and his crime-fighting dog (woof!) 20:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Delete - Back in May 1992, Serbs massacred 80 Bosniaks in Glogova. If we are going to talk about "Bratunac Massacre" then we may as well talk about real massacres, those deliberately perpetrated by Serb forces against Bosniaks in Bratunac. More than 1000 Bosniaks were killed in Bratunac in 1992. Bratunac was a Muslim town which was ethnically cleansed froom Bosniaks by Serb Army. Serbs committed horrendous crimes against Bosniaks in Bratunac and surrounding Bosnian Muslim villages. You quoted source for your claim to be "Milivoje Ivanisevic" - Serbian proapgandist and Srebrenica genocide denier. He has no credibility, authority, or respect to be taken seriously for anything. He is one-sided pro-Serbian extremist who repeatedly denied Serb crimes against Bosniaks in Podrinje. Serbs used to re-write history with lies about 700,000 dead Serbs in Jasenovac (when in fact only 50,000 died as per the US Holocaust Museum data). Now you want to re-write the history of Bratunac, former Muslim town from which you expelled Muslims? It's not going to work. The International Tribunal at the Hague has already spoken. The facts: Serbs are overhelmingly responsible for war crimes in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Court has spoken. Do whatever you want to do, but you will never be able to change these facts.

Revise. I went to the article expecting to find more information about the Bratunac massacre described in Hasan Nuhanovic's "Under the UN Flag", his narrative of events leading up to and including the Srebrenica genocide. Setting the scene and indicating why the Dutchbat III's training should have prepared them for the possibility of a genocidal onslaught against Srebrenica is a description of events preceding July 1992, at the bottom of page 4 and the top of page 5:
The article as it stands appears to lack any account of its subject. Opbeith (talk) 23:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Cinema C, you have identified a basic problem. I'm not aware of the existence of an honest account of the specific sufferings of innocent civilian Serbs in the Bosnian war on Wikipedia. Serbian campaigners for truth and justice appear to have too much on their hands simply trying to get their compatriots to acknowledge what happened, so the propagandists tend to dominate the Wikipedia history of Serbia's and the Serbs' involvement in the Bosnian war. That seems to be part of the reason for the apparently imbalanced listing of massacres in the Bosnian war that you remarked on. The other is of course that the imbalance is rooted in the grim reality. It's not a question of just the deaths of Serbs and Croats going unmarked. There are scores of notable massacres of Bosniaks/Bosnian Muslims that have no article at Wikipedia recording them, like the massacre at Zaklopaca (near Vlasenica) on 16 May 1992, to take one example of many.

Given that it's been live for four years now and edited by multiple editors - none of whom appear to have seen any problem with it - I'll give it benefit of the doubt and bring it over for discussion, but I'm really not seeing it in this case. – iridescent 20:30, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The result was Delete. I am not insensitive to the cogent arguments given both in support of keeping this article and in support of merging its contents elsewhere. It is true that WP:ONEEVENT is mis-applied at times, but that doesn't mean this is such a case. It is also true that the information could be kept elsewhere. However, I find the arguments for deletion more convincing when looked at in context of the article itself and the subject himself. Even after a good bit of discussion (I wouldn't call it lengthy, but it's certainly more than trivial), the most the article can come up with is "it has been reported" and "previously unknown" and "only a hint" - phrases which either are or come perilously close to WP:WEASEL words. I'm not using WP:WEASEL to support deletion, but the normal response to it is to fix it - the problem is that when you pull out all of that, what you get is an article about an alias of a Lebanese man who died while building a bomb - and that's not the stuff of which encyclopedic articles are made. That he may have been intending to kill a notable person associated with a notable scandal - an assertion which does not appear to be well-supported in reliable sources - does not make him notable. This is a recurring theme in the discussion below, as evidenced by comments (on both sides of the debate) citing WP:V, "little hard information", "trivial coverage", etc. Frank | talk 16:39, 17 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] Mustafa Mahmoud MazehThis article would normally be a clear candidate for deletion under WP:ONEEVENT.

There are only two refeferences to the Against The Grain website, and those are because they are direct quotes from the founders of the company. The reason that the Google hits are mainly on blogs and forums is that the gluten-free community exists largely online, and since the popularity of Against The Grain Gourmet is growing rapidly, there is a lot of talk about it.

For three and a half years this article was placed at 2006 North Ossetia sabotages, which is of course POV. As it stands now the article is a prime example of WP:NOTNEWS, in that aside from the routine reporting of news reports on 22 and 23 January 2006, there is no evidence of long-lasting notability for this very minor incident, in that aside from the explosion, Saakaskhvili claiming it was sabotage, Russia telling Saakashvili to stop being a hysterical drama queen, and Russia restoring gas supplies to Georgia 24 hours after the explosion, there is no other coverage, meaning this article also suffers from a huge lack of notability in an encyclopaedic context.

Delete per WP:SOAP, along with the article on filmmaker/entrepreneur Anubhav Srivastava, which appear to be using Wikipedia as a promo tool for the filmmaker and his project. I can find no reliable third-party sources establishing notability. (It is possible there has been sock-puppetry among three accounts in creating these articles.) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:16, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
1) The article on the project only adds value to Wikipedia as this project involves several respected personalities from India, many of them having belonging to reputed organizations or having notable international achievements. 2) This article DOES NOT suggest the viewer to watch the movie. The background of the article has been written from a neutral point of view. All of the achievements of the interviewees have been backed by REFERENCES. There is no promotion. 3) According to Wikipedia, notability is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular"—although not irrelevant—is secondary. The subject of this article HAS received attention in a third party publication. Kindly see the point below. 4) Yourstory.in is a reliable third party source started by a journalist involved with a mainstream Indian channel "CNBC Awaaz." Kindly check this link to verify her affliation with CNBC (http://www.coolavenues.com/bschools/090401/siom-e-cell-1.php) While, the article was written in first person, it was only at the request of the Website itself. This does not mean the coverage was not "third party" as the publication itself has absolutely no affiliation to the subject. The article was scrutinized and edited by editors on the website before it was put on the main page. The fact the article was covered on the page of of a third party publication for several days does establish notability for the resource. Kindly visit http://yourstory.in if you have any doubts regarding it being a third party source. The article was written by the person but it WAS NOT SELF PUBLISHED and was independently verified by the publication before being put up. 5) I am aware that "The interview with Katerina Brodska" cannot be treated as a "reliable" third party source. Although it is not self published, still according to wikipedia "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, especially in articles ABOUT THEMSELVES, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as: the material is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources." 6) Wikipedia policy also states that future films for which principal photography have already commenced can be included if the production itself is at least somewhat notable. The notability of the production can be asserted to some extent through its coverage in a third party publication. I would like to state once again that if the article does seem promotional, kindly give enough time to make relevant edits to make it more encyclopedic. Thank You.

1) The subject has been covered in AT LEAST one reliable, third party publication with no affiliation to the subject. 2) The work in itself is "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded", even if it is not widely known yet. 3) The authenticity of the subject HAS been verified through the stills from the interviews and the videos added in the external links section.

Also, none of the interviewees have received any payments to appear in this film. Most of the interviewees have independent achievements in diverse fields and none of them have a vested monetary interest in this film. They interviews are of value to the audience and educational in nature. Kindly check out this video on Youtube featuring three of the interviewees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHd_fyFOtWc and decide for yourself :) Destinedfortop (talk) 12:25, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
I have gone through this subject matter in detail, including the website, the pictures with the personalities, excerpts of their interviews and the article on Your Story. I feel that while this subject has not been covered in mainstream media yet, the very concept and the progress made until now may make it notable to the mainstream media in the near future. The reason is that the production itself has potential for notability due to the concept of interviewing “real achievers” instead of self help gurus. Also, a 23 year old making it independently makes it possess potential for notability in the near future as well. I don’t think the article deserves a deletion, maybe a revision of the background to make it more neutral. The Anubhav Srivastava page can be merged into the Carve Your Destiny page. Editors should be given time to add more verified references to the subject as they appear in the mainstream media. A references tag about requirement for verified third party resources can be added in the meanwhile. If after a couple of months or so, no references from the main stream media have been added, the article can be deleted under the non notability criteria. Right now, I think the article should be given a chance. Remrie (talk) 19:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC) — Remrie (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I am not saying any of these opinions from new accounts should hold a lot of weightage but I do expect editors to desist from making accusations. Let's keep this debate limited to facts. If all that would come out of engaging in this debate are these kinds of things, I personally request any of the administrators to kindly delete this page. Destinedfortop (talk) 05:38, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
I've not been involved in the creation of the other page although it was made by a person known to me. Admins, kindly delete both the pages as the consensus seems to imply that the pages are not suited for Wikipedia as of now. Destinedfortop (talk) 13:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

The result was keep. Clearly no consensus to delete here - although you can still discuss for rename the article if necessary on the talk page (or any merging) JForget 21:50, 15 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] List of minor characters on My Name Is Earl
We have a list of characters in My Name Is Earl. The list there is, in some cases more organised than this one. Main characters don't have their own article because there was much effort to keep the information organised. It doesn't make sense to have a separate article for minor characters giving them undie weight (and which is also unreferenced). Magioladitis (talk) 17:40, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Delete per WP:SOAP, along with the article on Carve Your Destiny, which appear to be using Wikipedia as a promo tool for the filmmaker and his project. I can find no reliable third-party sources establishing notability. (It is possible there has been sock-puppetry among three accounts in creating these articles.) Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:14, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
1) The person in question has independently created this project only adds value to Wikipedia as this project involves several respected personalities from India, many of them having belonging to reputed organizations or having notable international achievements. 2) The article has been written from a neutral point of view. Only the facts have been stated. The bio is not biased towards the subject. 3) According to Wikipedia, notability is an inclusion criterion based on the encyclopedic suitability of an article topic. The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular"—although not irrelevant—is secondary. The subject of this article HAS received attention in a third party publication. Kindly see the point below. 4)The first reference from Yourstory.in is a reliable third party source started by a journalist involved with a mainstream Indian channel "CNBC Awaaz." Kindly check this link to verify her affliation with CNBC (http://www.coolavenues.com/bschools/090401/siom-e-cell-1.php) While, the article was written in first person, it was only at the request of the Website itself. This does not mean the coverage was not "third party" as the publication itself has absolutely no affiliation to the subject. The article was scrutinized and edited by editors on the website before it was put on the main page. The fact the article was covered on the page of of a third party publication for several days does establish notability for the resource. Kindly visit http://yourstory.in if you have any doubts regarding it being a third party source. The article was written by the person but it WAS NOT SELF PUBLISHED and was independently verified by the publication before being put up. 5) The second reference I am aware that "The interview with Katerina Brodska" cannot be treated as a "reliable" third party source. Although it is not self published, still according to wikipedia "Self-published or questionable sources may be used as sources of information ABOUT THEMSELVES, especially in articles ABOUT THEMSELVES, without the requirement that they be published experts in the field, so long as: the material is not unduly self-serving; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources." 6) The third reference has been used for verification of the appearances of the interviewees. It is indirectly used a reference for the work the subject of this article has done. What other form of reference can be used for VERIFICATION of appearances of interviewees apart from stills from all the interviews conducted? 7) The rest of the references were never intended to be references for the subject itself but references for the statement "with achievements in diverse fields." They were indirect references for the notability of the individuals involved in the work he has done. Finally, I would like to state that this article should stay based on the following. - The work done by the subject and the subject itself has been covered in AT LEAST one reliable independent third party publication. The authenticity of the work is evident through the third reference in the article. Destinedfortop (talk) 06:52, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Admins, I am requesting you to kindly delete this page and the one on Carve Your Destiny as it does not seem to be suited to Wikipedia for now. Kindly ignore my earlier arguments. Destinedfortop (talk) 13:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
No it is not, although it is a person known to me personally. If you need him to make a request through that account, I will ask him to do so Destinedfortop (talk) 14:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
I have not asked anyone to create an article on me, and nor have I "enlisted" anyone for help. Please tell me any instance where any of my so called friends have supported me in this discussion. The only instance is that of a person I do not even know. Let me state once again, I HAVE NOT asked anyone else to create articles for myself. If they have done so on their own, please dictate that to them by messaging them, not me. Also please be assured that articles will not be created again anytime soon , I will make it clear to any of those I know personally to not do so. You do not have to tell me that. If I am requesting a deletion myself, it kind of makes it obvious doesn't it? Thanks Destinedfortop (talk) 14:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC) I would be personally placing tags for speedy deletion on Carve Your Destiny and this page. Administrators, be assured that the pages will not be recreated. Kindly delete both Carve Your Destiny and Anubhav Srivastava. I am just tired of debating over the same thing since the past couple of days and feel it is best that the articles be taken off Wikipedia. Thanks Destinedfortop (talk) 15:05, 11 August 2009 (UTC) On a second note, it is better that the person who created this article place that notice himself. That should be up too in a few hours. Thanks Destinedfortop (talk) 15:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

| Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of environmental organisations topics | |||
|---|---|---|---|
The result was no consensus. Having spent quite some time trying to pull a consensus one way or another out of this discussion, I've had no choice but to conclude there isn't one. A "delete" argument that merely dismisses the article as listcruft without further elaboration is hard to give a great deal of weight to; and while the arguments to keep are not wholly convincing they do do a reasonable job of refuting a good proportion of the nomination statement. Finally, the revised statement by the nominator suggesting a merge seems prima facie reasonable to me; but again consensus to do so has not developed here. Overall, I think the solution here is to trim this list and see if it wouldn't be better incorporated into one of the other articles that have been mentioned here - if it is not resolved to general satisfaction, I would suggest this is renominated here in the intermediate future. ~ mazca talk 17:02, 17 August 2009 (UTC) [edit] List of environmental organisations topics
A clunky topic that does not need an article. It is essentially a repeat of List of environmental issues and the rest of the collection at Lists of environmental topics. It does not have any rational boundary and includes a wide range of topics some of which are totally irrelevant (Office Maintenance??). If the irrelevant links were removed and more specific links used it would turn out to be the same as List of environmental issues and List of conservation issues. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:04, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Replies to Anarchangel:
To your last, indeed it could, and then it would. But if 'there can be only one', why not the more complete one? And if this had occurred to you previously, or if you were even undertaking such an enterprise as of 11 Aug, perhaps the AfD rationale would have been more clearcut, shall we say.

(Does "digital architecture" have anything to do with buildings? The article says no, but the image says yes.) No signs of improvement in nearly two years it's been on my watchlist, and both of the substantial contributors have not edited since, so I doubt there'll ever be any.

A Vice-chancellor is the one that qualifies per WP:Academic, a Pro-chancellor is a nominee of the funding organization, also this particular educational institution isn't a research university. Found this in RS where he's briefly quoted and the fact established that he's Vice Chairman of NICE Society, and this - a researcher thanks him for his encouragement. Other than that, there's mention of him being on the board of the Uttar Pradesh State Body Builders Association on their webpage, and some literature on the University site (both primary sources, trivial mentions - nothing beyond his title).
